#BrunswickME Celebrate the outdoors on the big screen in Brunswick this #EarthDay
#EveningStarCinema will host screenings of "A Peace of Forest" from April 25 to May 1.
"EveningStar Cinema in Brunswick will celebrate Earth Day with screenings of '#APeaceOfForest,' a new nature #documentary made by Maine filmmakers about the state’s #wildlife.
"The movie theater will screen the film in the days following Earth Day, which is on April 22. There will be showings on April 25-27 and May 1.
"Husband-and-wife team Lee Ann and Thomas Mark Szelog shot the entire film within 70 acres of forest in #WhitefieldME, where they live.
" 'A Peace of Forest' is a compelling, feature-length film, celebrating the beauty and intimacy of wildlife in Maine,' according to a theater news release.
" 'This one-of-a-kind cinematic adventure showcases surprising, tender and exquisite interactions of wildlife during peaceful moments in Maine’s natural world.'
"The #Szelogs are award-winning #NaturePhotographers with 60 years of combined experience. They are also the authors of 'Our Point of View: Fourteen Years at a #MaineLighthouse' and “By a Maine River: A Year of Looking Closely.”
‘Become reacquainted with nature’s power’."
" 'A Peace of Forest' premiered in summer 2024 at the #LincolnTheater in Damariscotta. The showings at the EveningStar will be the first in Brunswick.
"The film is 'a wonderful opportunity for people to become reacquainted with nature’s power,' filmmaker Lee Ann Szelog said in an interview.
"Lee Ann Szelog described the film as 'quiet and peaceful.' The filmmaking duo relied on natural sounds with minimal narration in order to transport the viewer to a forest in Maine, she said.
" 'Our hope was to create a feature-length film that people could view as if they were sitting right next to us,' Lee Ann Szelog said.
"The Szelogs achieved this by setting up photography blinds and waiting for wildlife to appear.
"The film has been shown at #LocalTheaters all over Maine, including during an event last month at the University of Southern Maine’s Hannaford Hall in Portland.
" 'Working with these local community theaters has been such an honor,' Lee Ann Szelog said.
"The #EveningStarCinema in the #TontineMall has been showing films in Brunswick since 1979. Sean Hoessli and Lindie Kuzmich took over ownership of the theater in October 2024."

June 3- Bear in a movie
The Bear (1988)
Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud
A bear cub left alone after its mother is killed in a rockslide is adopted by an initially reluctant adult male bear. There is very little dialogue in this movie, which mainly follows the two bears and their attempts to evade hunters who are following them.
Tomorrow night (Nov 17), the Wild and Scenic Film Festival returns to Corvallis (and many other cities). Come see 13 short wildlife and nature films, on the theme of "Currents of Hope", or stream them online. Proceeds go to local environmental education center.
